Man. This comes right back to the narrative on this program.
It's unreal that this program shrinks so badly when the chips are at the highest. For once, it's not on the coaching staff. Players just not executing in the big spots and the defense has turned into a frickin pumpkin.
The bigger question is how that cluster of a 3rd down play call happened. It never had a chance. You can’t risk that in that big moment.Unfortunately a fear grows that PSU needed to win it there on offense as they did earlier in the season.
For as good of a 1st half defense Tom Allen called, I can't say I love what he's doing in the 2nd . ND keeps running the ball to the left side of their OL whenever Abdul is lined up at our left DE position.
Defense gassed...excellent FG kicker. I'm not optimisticDo we pull it out, or not?
Not hopeful here
Has a wide receiver actually completed a reception? I think it's been all tight ends and Singleton. It's amazing that PSU has managed to get this far with with such an poor receiving unit. May as well just play Luke and Dinkens
We just have awful lapses in mental toughness and situational awareness
Why we didn't rerun the play that just worked is beyond mind boggling. ND had no coverage for it
Because the ND defense read it like a book and made sure to bump Warren as much as possible so he couldn't break free. No holds or anything, it was clean, but that was well-executed on their end. And that goes to how pathetic the WR room has been for 2 years.
